TBV Living

What TBV Living does

TBV Wonen (legal entity operating as TBV Living) is a Dutch social housing corporation (woningcorporatie) headquartered at Spoorlaan 430 in Tilburg, Netherlands, founded in 1916 as Tilburgsche Bouwvereeniging by local textile manufacturers and rebranded TBV Wonen in 2001 to reflect a broadened social mission. It owns and operates approximately 9,000 rental homes across Tilburg and five surrounding municipalities (Berkel-Enschot, Udenhout, Biezenmortel, Helvoirt, Haaren), serving primarily low-income households, elderly and disabled residents, and — increasingly — young adults, starters, and 'HuisHoppers' aged 18-45 through new developments such as the 150-unit High Lane tower delivered in November 2023.

The corporation's core product is regulated social rental housing priced under Dutch housing law, with annual rent increases set by the government (3.6% standard for 2026, plus income-dependent surcharges of €50 or €100 for high-income tenants). Operational technology is modest and primarily administrative: a Microsoft/Dynamics Empire back-office stack, plus the Mijn TBV Wonen self-service tenant portal for repair requests, rent management, and payment arrangements. Distribution is multi-channel via the physical woonwinkel (housing shop), the Mijn TBV Wonen portal, and the regional Woning in Zicht (WiZ) housing allocation system; tenant communications are reinforced through the quarterly STEK resident magazine.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through recurring monthly rents from the social housing portfolio, with diversification expected as the Koningswei project (with ASR, by 2029) adds 72 commercial rental and 62 owner-occupied homes alongside 230 social rental units, and the Torentjeshoef development adds 113 apartments by end-2027. The organization supplements rental operations with in-house mutation maintenance, repair services, sustainability upgrades to existing stock, and integrated housing-with-care partnerships with care providers (Amarant, Jados, 't Werkt, Exodus). It is led by directeur-bestuurder Paul Kouijzer (reappointed through March 2027) and a five-member Raad van Commissarissen chaired by Karin Doms.
